IMPROVEMENT IN VAPOR-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 221,205, dated November 4, 1879; application filed October 8, 1879.

I To all whom at may concern:

Bcit known that I, FLORIAN ZUGG, of the city of Peoria, in the county of Peoria, in the State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Gas-Stoves and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and cxactdescription thereof, reference being had to the annexed drawings, makin g a part of this specification, in which Figure 1 represents an interior view of a partof the stove,showin g myimproved screen or cover; and Fig. 2, a plan view.

Like letters in both figures of the drawings indicate like parts.

ll1is invention consists of a perforated removable barrel-shaped screen provided wit-h a short tube fixed in the bottom, and adapted for use on the burner of a gas pipe introduced into a gas-stove, so as to protect the flame from the windythus permitting it to be used at picnies and for other outdoor purposes, as will be hereinafter more fully explained.

A is the stove, provided with the usual holes for cookin g utensils, and with ven tilatin g-openin gs above and below.

B is the barrel-shaped screen, which rests, by means of a short tube, 0, in the bottom of it, upon a thimble, h, on the end of the gaspipe 0. The barrel shape or elongated form of the screen permits it to completely iuclose the burner g, the draft entering through the perforations 6 below, and causing the flames to escape through the perforations 70 above to the cooking utensils on the stove, thus pro- ,tecting thefiame from the wind when used for outdoor purposes.

I am aware of certain patents on the subject, more particularly that of James Sheedy, No. 101,928, dated April 12, 1870, showing a perforated heater surrounding the burner and a conical distributor fixed within the heater.

I do not claim the devices shown in such patents; but,

Having described my invention, I claim- I. The removable barrel-shaped screen having the perforationsi and 7c, and provided with short tube 0, adapted to rest on the burner of a'gas-pipe, constructed as shown, for the purposes set forth.

2. The removable screen B, having perforations i below and k above, and provided with short tube 0, in combination with a gas-pipe introduced into a gas cooking-stove and provided with a thimble, h, substantially as speci fied.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 11th day of April, A. I). 1878. 1
